Moretus in shadow

Hi all,

Well this ones not in the same league as Alans shot, but it does show it even deeper in shadow. I downsized it about 20% as it gaves more bite, the seeing was not coperating that night, still I think its the best shot from that evening. There seems to be strange small bumps (like small domes) visible on the crater floor, I wonder if they are volcanic in nature?

Hi Mike -

That is beautiful! Even reduced a little, at this size the seeing takes no prisoners. Still there are details displayed that are just hinted at in my image.

Are you in a part of Ontario somewhere near to Buffalo? I wonder how often you experience seeing that is better than 6/10. With the effects from Lake Erie here, conditions that are kind to a long focal length are very rare indeed!

best,
Alan

Nice image. I like the angle and shadows.

A fantastic image in anyones book Mike. I can't wait until you get some good seeing.
